Stan 386 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Strange that this has not been mentioned by Nottstalgians! CITY FILMS GRAB BAFTA HONOURS 09:00 - 11 February 2008 Nottingham director Shane Meadows scooped best British film at the Baftas last night. This Is England faced stiff competition from Golden Globe winner Atonement and the thriller The Bourne Ultimatum. The film was shot in Nottingham and its triumph crowned a great night for the city's film-makers. Meadows was last nominated in 2005 for Dead Man's Shoes. Receiving the award, Meadows yesterday joked to the Royal Opera House audience: "Last time I was nominated I took up a regime after Christmas, lots of sit-ups and press-ups. This year I gave up on that idea and thought I'd go with the man boobs, and it's turned my luck around." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Superb film also check Shane Meadows other films Dead Mans Shoes fav clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USeow24XrCg And if you can find it watch " Where's the Money Ronnie?" lasts about 20 Min's filmed entirely on sneinton market. I honestly think that Dead Man's Shoes is one of the best films I've ever seen. It has some incredibly dramatic and memorable scenes and is very unpredictable. For me it's Shane's best movie so far but I like every one I've seen. Fantastic performance by Paddy Considine and a surprisingly accomplished one from ex-boxer, Gary Stretch. Filmed in and around Matlock, this is a film that you won't forget in a hurry. Very haunting at times. Recommended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
